I am not sure of the dates - when are you coming through PA? Do you have anyone meeting you along the way. I am not far away from a section or two and would love to join you if the schedule allows.<br /><br />As for the training needed to take on such an endeavor, what a topic. I guess as long as you have gotten strong and are fighting no nagging injuries, have your mileage up, have your nutrition and gear down (which judging by one of your recent posts you have been working on), and a good support crew (which I also am sure you have) you are good to go. The exercise itself will be all the conditioning you need as long as your immune system hangs tough and you stay well fed, hydrated, and strong mentally (which no doubt you will). Excited to hear how it goes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-3240316079530388182011-02-16T15:53:55.375-05:002011-02-16T15:53:55.375-05:00Dave,

You will definitely suffer more than me over the 140-miles, but it will at least hopefully be over in less than 32 hours.<br /><br />I liked Superior Sawtooth a lot!. . . the weather was just horrible this year though. It's a great race and I can't believe more folks don't venture up to MN for that one.<br /><br />Good luck with the training,<br /><br />AdamCassedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903493546022429763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-24462080838821292782011-02-15T20:43:40.861-05:002011-02-15T20:43:40.861-05:00Hey man I didn't know you were gunning for the...Hey man I didn't know you were gunning for the AT? Though my attempt at the Kokopelli Trail record in May falls way shy of the AT about 2039 miles to be exact. I also had to wrestle with the same dilema. How much to train. Too much and you burnout. To little and you find yourself at the mercy of not having done enough. I have been keeping track though but keeping it under 100 per week until after my race in March. Then all th emiles will be around a 10 minute pace with one run per week completely focused on "Time on my Feet".<br />Good luck in your attempt brother and keep me posted. By the way. How did you like the Superior Trail? Looked like you had a great run there on a tough course...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-86593356745709498572011-02-11T10:07:34.965-05:002011-02-11T10:07:34.965-05:00The best training you can do is the first two week...The best training you can do is the first two weeks of the hike.

Tammy and I are working the Boogie on Satuday night June 11th and I have some race that I am expected to attend up in some state called West Virginia. I think that race has something like Highlands in its name and it is on June 18th. I am hoping that we can discuss some details at Catawba next month.Rick Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067293157750460416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-87773213817818622072011-02-10T09:33:00.726-05:002011-02-10T09:33:00.726-05:00Rick - I'm hoping I have you on my team for so...Rick - I'm hoping I have you on my team for some miles in TN!Cassedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903493546022429763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-14312916325582754322011-02-10T07:53:15.594-05:002011-02-10T07:53:15.594-05:00You have done your homework.
